The Bikes, Boards and Brews Festival is an opportunity to “check out some cool boards and bikes and enjoy some great beer,” said Andy Hanshaw, executive director of Discover Pacific Beach. The new event will be held Oct. 18 at the outdoor bayside setting of the Catamaran Resort and Spa, 3999 Mission Blvd. Attendees can sample up to 10 craft-brewed beers, listen to live music and look at unique beach bikes and vintage surfboards. The Tap Room will provide about a dozen craft-brewed beers and the Pacific Beach Ale House will bring some of its own special brews for people to choose from. The Catamaran Resort will provide food. Rusty Spokes Vintage Bicycles and Bicycle Discovery will display both classic beach cruisers and newer bikes, some for sale. Taco Surf and RT’s Longboard Grill will bring out vintage surfboards from their respective collections for display. Mike McGill will provide the live music. Hanshaw said the concept of the festival is to bring out the laid-back Pacific Beach culture, along with the surfing community, and tie them into the ever-popular craft- brewed beer phenomenon. This is a joint effort and benefit for Discover Pacific Beach and the Pacific Beach Community Foundation, Hanshaw said.
